jengato on Viet Tin optical

This is the best place I have found in Hanoi for optical needs. I have been to many, but these folks are the only ones that seem to know what is going on. I bought some sun glass frames (cheap knock-offs)at another shop and I needed prescription lenses made for them. All the other places kept telling me that because of my unusual prescription, they could not do UV protected sun glasses lenses for me, it was not possible. I was sure that it could be done, as I had done it in other countries so i finally found these guys and, in spite of the fact that I did not buy the frames from them, they were very helpful and said "sure we can do that". They even speak some English here and double checked my prescription (a very professional test) before sending the glasses to Saigon. The price was reasonable (about 1/3 of what I had been quoted at Trang tien Plaza for non-uv lenses, and I am very satisfied with the final results. I can see again!
